Dinnertime

First off, thanks for all of your comments and stories from my last post. It's good to know that I really did make everyone feel better about their parenting and I feel better about mine. It's a tough job and I'm glad that we are all doing our best, no matter how awesome or not as awesome that may be sometimes.
Anyway, I was doing some guilt about the fact that I honestly could not remember the last time Weston had actually chewed up AND swallowed a vegetable, so last night for dinner I made chicken stir fry and Weston actually ate baby corns, pea pods, broccoli, a couple pieces of chicken and one little carrot shred (which he said he didn't like). It helped that right before dinner we watched a Sesame Street DVD about eating healthy foods. :) So here are a few pics of what dinnertime looks like at our house:

Davin in the bouncer watching all the goings on and the ceiling fan.Weston "cooking" with the fridge magnets and a couple bowls and pans.
The finished product! Look at all those veggies. It really actually tasted great. I used the sauce that came with the frozen veggies and it was really yummy. Go us for eating healthy! :)

You are so amazing. We so love to watch you with Weston and now Davin. It brings tears to my eyes to read about your doubts but great joy and pride to see you become a wonderful mother.

WAY TO GO SHANNON!!! I posted on your post below too . . . I am impressed how well Weston ate this too. Bytheway, you can feel good that Weston knows his ABC's. I can't even say that about Tanner. Maybe I need to get an ABC video.
